2021 Webinar on cost benefit analysis (EEA and ETC/CME)

Date: 29 October 2021

An integral part of any ex-post or ex-ante policy evaluation is a proper assessment of associated costs and benefits. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) could be used in the evaluation of climate policies but this can pose methodological and practical challenges. The EEA has been working to provide guidance to Member States on CBA. During the webinar, three case studies were presented that will give a very practical  insight into CBA.

Agenda:
